Read a random definition: cestui que vie

A quick definition of practical construction:

Practical construction means building something by putting parts together. It can also mean figuring out what a written document means, like a law or contract. Sometimes people have different ideas about what a document means, so they have to interpret it. There are different ways to interpret a document, like looking at what it was meant to do or only looking at the exact words. Practical construction can also mean looking at how people understood a document when it was first made.

A more thorough explanation:

Practical construction is the act of building something by combining or arranging parts or elements. It can also refer to the process of interpreting or explaining the meaning of a written document, such as a constitution or statute.

For example, when a builder constructs a house, they are using practical construction to put together the various parts of the house, such as the walls, roof, and foundation. In the legal context, practical construction can refer to the interpretation of a statute by looking at how it has been applied in similar cases in the past.

Practical construction is also known as contemporaneous construction, which refers to an interpretation given at or near the time when a writing was prepared, usually by someone involved in its preparation. This type of interpretation can be helpful in understanding the intended meaning of a document.

Overall, practical construction involves using a hands-on approach to building something or interpreting a document in a way that makes sense and achieves its intended purpose.

Someone told me a while ago that I was probably molested as a kid because I don’t really have any clear memories of my childhood. But I don’t think I was.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.

I would say yeah, they're helpful. But they can verge on unproductive and stress-inducing if you watch enough of them (especially the application read-through ones)
